Objectively, the choice of HDR in the first image when you have moving people so close to your subject is creating some really unsightly ghosts in the reflection. Compositionally speaking, the handle-bar through the rider's head in the reflection really takes away from what could have been a really cool shot. I won't get started on how bad the skin tone is...

The over-editing in the second photo detracts entirely from a comedic moment.

And the last image could have been an amazing black and white image with that pool of light and just the silhouettes of the people walking away/around.

If you stripped away the terrible editing, you'd have some good or great images!

I am somewhat bemused by this, darthkindy has evolved a particular style and some of his photos and pp really hit the mark, yet they are often ignored on the forum and don`t attract positive comments. Some I really like and some not so much, but I respect his work, skill and dedication.Now when he put up some photos that he labelled as "fun pics" he gets negative comments. Lighten up people.

I think we are being honest and darth I am sure knows that we do appreciate his work, he has since I have been here produced some very entertaining, clever and confident shots and I like a lot of his shots. These have elements that work but for me don't quite level up to some of his other work.

I'm sure he will be posting something very different very soon and I'm looking forward to what he comes up with next !

thanks for the comment i i do meen that i know my style is not for everyone but i do have fun just to let everyone know this shots got me some gigs the one with the air horn wants me to do some plublicity pics for him and atleast three people have contacted me via face book for pics we will see how it pans out i am posting the pics i did for a local film company they are doing a indipendent horro film and thier photographer was not up to the chaleng he did some pics and for the film and they needed a poster for the film i thing it turned out good my only regret is i did not do the original shoot i hate working with someone eleses images ( the boot the face and the grass and the dirt where all shot sepertly and i conbined them and aded the text the poster is set up to take advantege of anything the director wants to add latter ie tag line here and the comment from the well knowen critic lol the second pic is for the companys loga the house number was 276 so changed it to 286 to reflect the 286 production company ( i am sorry for the content but it is a horro comdey simmiler ti sean of the dead

I love your work Darth! I wish I could sit and look over your shoulder as you work so i can see what all you do. I don't want to copy your style but understand what and how you do it. I've even associated you with a commercial here in the US. I think it is History or TLC with the show "Swamp People" The commercial looks just like your work!
